sew what's new?

  Changed up my quilt in the hallway with a little bit early Christmas inspiration! I also finished up another 16 blocks on my spool quilt. That makes a total of 47 so far. I will need 2 more and then 14 of the small wooden embroidery thread spools for the borders. Be safe and be kind to one another, chatter later, Martha.

     These are pics of my quilt top before the border was added. I used a purple  Kansas Troubles fabric for my border and for the binding that I will be needing. I also combined two stripe prints for the backing as this is a donation quilt for warmth and not for an exhibit. With the left over pieces from the quilt top I decided to make two small quilts for  a "Loving Arms" gift. Two of our Guild members organize gifts given to parents of stillborn babies and young babies for whatever reason have passed back to Heaven and to God our Father. Backing was the same on both quilts and instead of binding I used the backing as the binding. They were of the same colorway.  I also have been making masks and received a pic from my son of one I made in early October. I put spiders inside my daughter's checked masks. I have also started on some Christmas and winter masks. Working on about 40 masks right now.  I received my first fat quarter bundle of Linework by T...

With three flimsys at the quilters, I have started a new project!  It's red and vintage white. Here is the book from Sherri Falls...... It's an oldie but a goodie! And here is a picture in the book of the whole quilt! I started with nine patches being made..... Then hourglass blocks were made..... I have one block put together..... Tomorrow sewing of pieces will result in more blocks . Be safe and be kind to others! Chatter later, Martha.

I have progression pics of the last three mugs and the borders completeing the Kate Spain  Christmas quilt to share with you.  The backing and binding are pieced and ready to go also. I also got the binding  sewn down on my blue "Leaded Glass" quilt.  Here are the pics..... I also have a picture of the backing fabric. Be safe and be kind, Martha.
